People:me

Duration:7.30-9.30pm

Tide:LW at 6.30pm

Weather: warm, fairly calm
Bait: Lugs

Rigs:pennel

Results: 3 bass, 2 dogs

Report:
Fancied a bit of spinning in the calm evening, but brought the bait rods anyway as I had plenty of lugs. Fired a couple of lugs out anyway when I got there as water was a bit low for spinning this particular mark. Stayed with the bait rods anyway and didnt have to wait too long for the first bass, just over 2lbs.
Weather was beautifull, I wouldnt say ideal for bass though as water was fairly flat, but the surf seemed to get a bit stronger as the evening went on, only the occasional bit of stray kelp being caught on the lines.
Nice evenings fishing anyway with 2 more bass about the same size and a couple of dogfish.
Had to leave the beach at 9 to avoid being cut off. Spinned for 30mins with a toby but had no interest. Took a few pics but camera has no charge now so I cant get them off.

Nice one Figs,

Great weather for it.

I must get one more session in before the Ban

On the LSD front , have you noticed less LSD in waterford this year?

Usually we would be plagued by them on various marks at this time of year , but this year they havnt showed yet !

They were the first ones Ive seen this year, one very pale and one with a vey dark back. There were often a lot of dead ones washed up near this particular spot last year

Went out again last night 7.30 - 10.
1 flounder & 4 bass, 3x4lb, 1x6lb, all on lug.
6lb fish caught with ledger rig on my light spinning rod with braid, you can really appreciate the power of these fish using the lighter tackle

15 yards out with a 1 oz lead.
One of the 4lb fish foulhooked just under the gill covers -took about 10 mins to get him in, just stuck to the bottom and kept on surging back out whenever he got near to the shore - what a buzz
